They are very aware of the GF. The server took the time to go over which items not to order. The service was great!

I got the chicken tikka, biryani, and the chicken pakoras and didn’t get sick! I’d definitely get the chicken pakoras again with the desi ranch - so good. The tikka and biryani were good, but those pakoras were delicious!

So I ordered from DoorDash, but when I called to make sure they were indeed gluten-free they were very polite and cooperative. I’m allergic all wheat, and they even checked just in case for buckwheat. I had mango cheesecake. Chicken tenders, fries and Lamb Biryani. They have more options and on DoorDash they even tell you which ones is gluten-free which is not. Very delicious.

Tarka was a favorite before my daughters celiac diagnosis and we are thrilled it is still a safe option. She had her usual coconut curry with out incident. Also thrilled that they have 2 fryers and 1 is dedicated gluten free :)

Great place! Yummy Indian food. Affordable place to eat too.

Great with precautions for GF food, but note there is no gluten free dedicated fryer. Anything deep fried may be contaminated.

The two fryers are separated one for vegetarian dishes and one for meat dishes.

I’m generally okay at the other location when ordering takeout, but I ended up sick even though I ordered the same stuff I normally do. I really like this chain though and I feel like it might have just been cross contamination or something bc the aftermath could’ve been worse

I have not eaten here in person, but I'll have ordered delivery off their gluten free menu several times. Eventually I realized it was making me sick and stopped. Might be better if you can order in person and make a specific request.

Nervous takes-it-super-serious celiac here and oh man... I haven’t had Indian food in probably years and this was excellent. Items are clearly marked on main menu as GF and most of the menu can be made gluten free. They have one fryer where nothing glutenous is fried, so we were able to try the Badmaash fries which were awesome. Also had the coconut curry and the Mitch Masala curry. Both were really good. Note that it’s warned as super spicy but I didn’t find it that spicy. We also had a biryani that was just so awesome. Lots of leftovers with 2 people splitting all those dishes (I just devoured them mwahahahaha). Orders are placed at a counter, kind of fast-food-esque, and dishes are brought out to us. Everything was awesome and they took all the necessary precautions to keep celiacs safe. Hymns of joy playing in my head with every bite. 5 stars.
